Valencia is a city where women have played a significant historical, cultural, and social role, yet they have been largely overlooked in traditional history, silenced and forgotten. This tour of the Historic Center will delve into the lives and works of the first female university students, printers, writers, sculptors, artists, and politicians who lived in our city and broke with established social roles, from Roman times to the present day, pioneering many fields of arts and sciences.
Women such as the Roman Viria Acte; the humanist and Vicereine Mencía de Mendoza; the abbess and writer Sor Isabel de Villena and her "Vita Christi"; the printer Jerónima Gales; the painters and daughters of Juan de Juanes, Dorotea and Margarita Macip; and the physician and gynecologist Manuela Solís; The lawyer and first female member of the bar, Ascensión Chirivella, the first female councilor of Valencia, Guillermina Medrano, and other women who left their mark on Valencia's history.
